functional style

By kyle_me Ranked #209 - Men's Softshell Jackets July 24, 2009

This is my go to jacket for temperatures 30-65, depending on activity level + weather conditions. It fits like a glove, but is stretchy so its non-restricting. I am a trim/athletic 5-11, 165 + got a very form fitting S, but could have worn a M w/ some play in it (depending on your preference).It does an amazing job of keeping the wind out + pretty good in light rain. It doesn't retain heat + smell issues are much less of a problem than anticipated w/ it having a polyester shell. I can easily transition inside - out w/ this jacket on w/o taking it off or w/o looking like I just got off a mountain.

Finally, its comfort - Amazing. Its such a light fabric that feels good against the skin on the inside + out. The zippers all work great (neck protected too), the collar is a great size to retain heat, but not choke.

$150 may be a little steep, but if you catch it on sale like I did, go for it.
